Arsenal Watch:
Aaron Ramsey - Arsenal's only player involved in tonight's clash - limped off in the latter stages of Wales' tricky 2-1 away win to Andorra. Unfortunately, Arsenal's man-of-the-moment failed to grab a goal or assisst and to make matters worse, picked up a worrying knock in stoppage time.
Ramsey's best chance of the night came in the 90th minute when his close-range shot from the right of the goal was just pushed away from the top corner. The former Wales captain also created a lot of good chances for his teammates including his brilliant corners which often made life tricky for Andorra.
Furthermore, Ramsey managed to showboat a little in stoppage time, notably beating an Andorran defender with a 180 degrees spin. This, however, lead to him picking up a slight knock after he ran onto the ball. Despite being down for sometime, Ramsey eventually got back onto his feet before shortly after being substituted off.
Various rumours circulating after the match are that Ramsey twisted his ankle which makes him a major doubt for Saturday's crucial match against Manchester City. Arsene Wenger and his medical team will definitely be assessing Ramsey's injury thoroughly during this week.
Match highlights:
Things did not get off to a good start for Chris Coleman's side after left-back Neil Taylor conceded a penalty in the fifth minute of the match. The Swansea defender pulled Andorra's Ivan Lorenzo to the ground and despite referee Slavko Vincic initially allowing play to continue, a penalty was eventually given after the assistant referee spoke with Vincic. Benfica striker Lima stepped up to take the penalty and coolly placed the ball into the bottom right corner, sending Hennessy the wrong way in the process.
In the 22nd minute Wales bagged themselves an equaliser through Real Madrid star Gareth Bale. The former Spurs winger headed in Davies' cross from the left wing into the centre of the box, nodding the ball into the back of the net.
Gareth Bale then gave Wale's the lead for the first time on the night in the 81st minute. 25-yards away from goal, substitute George Williams won his nation the costless-kick before Bale's effort was saved easily by Andorra's keeper. Bale, however, received a second chance as the referee ordered for the set-piece to be re-taken due to the Andorran wall running towards bale before he had taken the costless-kick.
The Champions League winner's second effort was much improved compared to his first as his dipping shot managed to squeeze into the top right corner. Bale's second goal of the night was the final goal in this tight match in which the favorites Wales eventually won 2-1.
